Advanced Medical Optics Sued For Contact Lens Solution
Users of Advanced Medical Optics' Complete Moisture Plus Multi Purpose lens solution
filed an injury lawsuit against the maker for vision loss they suffered from using the product. The plaintiffs claim to have developed Acanthamoeba keratitis, an extremely painful infection of the cornea, from using the contact lens solution.
The seven plaintiffs represent contact lens solution users from California, Texas, Alabama, West Virginia, Illinois, Maine and Georgia. As part of their compensation for the serious eye infections they are seeking reimbursement for the cost of their surgeries, and for necessary future medical care. As Orlando injury lawyers, these product liability lawsuits are important to hold manufacturers responsible for the needless suffering they cause. The plaintiffs allege not only a defective and dangerous product, but further claim that the company failed to adequately notify consumers and retailers when AMO Complete was recalled in May.
It would certainly be tragic if consumers unknowingly continued to use a dangerous product and suffered injury. In this case, the plaintiffs are seeking to have the court force the maker AMO to provide a better recall notice so that the product is taken off the market. That will of course be the only sure way to prevent future injury.
Recently, we undertook the representation of another victim of a dangerous product that had been recalled months before his injury. Unfortunately, not much effort was put forth by the manufacturer or seller to ensure that all consumers would be notified of the danger so they would avoid purchase or usage of the product.
